Second point first, I think the crowd here will be pretty supportive of your journey, lots of thoughts and prayers.
To the first point. In an attempt to make a long story short, I'll offer two opinions. I've had 9 concussions. 6 years ago I had a serious of 4 in about 2 years that I still feel the effects of to this day. In an attempt to see a neurologist I had to fill out a headache diary. Through the process of completing the diary I found out that on 340 days of the year I experienced some kind of headache. I thought I was experiencing headaches maybe once or twice a week. I stopped filling out the diary because the weight of the numbers became depressing. I think that was the right decision.
To the other side, when I went to see my GP after a minor setback he asked me if I told anyone, I said that I had, reluctantly. He said that it's important to reach out because it's a positive sign that I hadn't resigned myself to a certain future.
What I'm getting at is share what you need to, when you need to.
Good luck.
